I would be very hesitant to get involved in advising for a computer purchase. Suffice it to say I've been very happy with my current system, and it's configured primarily for video editing with matrox hardware. It would seem to me that now would be a good time to make a hardware upgrade. CUDA processing for Premiere has been nothing short of awesome. To see Ae heading in that direction is very exciting. If your current system is not CUDA-capable then YES....RUN to CUDA acceleration.

Can't answer the $$ question. I've never priced any of the mac options.

Let's say I'm ready to jump ship and buy a full-fledged Windows tower, something that would put the best MacPro to shame.

But, I'm a-scared and too dumb to do it myself.  I'll pay a systems integrator to build it for me with all the right parts, and maybe even support me through some growing pains.

Aren't I looking at more or less the same money?

AND...

Wouldn't a good time to jump ship be between an upgrade like this?  I assume that if I want to switch platforms, Adobe will charge me the same to upgrade to CS6 Windows as it would to stick with the Mac version, yes?

Just wondering.
